The Kewanee High School Competitive Dance Team is making plans to take part in the Illinois High School Association’s (IHSA) first-ever sectional Jan. 19 at Fieldcrest High School in Minonk.

The team will hold a rummage sale from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 12, in the foyer of Petersen Auditorium to raise funds for the trip to the sectional as well as costumes for its competition dance.

At 7 p.m., the team will present a showcase of routines to be performed including several fans won’t see at Boilermaker basketball games. The showcase is free to the public and refreshments will be provided.

Top teams from the Jan. 19 sectionals advance to the first state competitive dance finals the following weekend at U.S. Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington.

Last year the IHSA approved adding sectionals and state finals for competitive dance to its schedule of activities.

Last fall the Kewanee School Board approved the KHS dance team’s participation in the first year’s series.
